The ripple effect…
We often think that a small action is not that big of a deal or won’t have much of an impact.

You went for a 10 minute walk. Great.

But what if that the real benefit is what that walk sets in motion?

You feel a bit better
So you decide to make a healthier choice for dinner
You notice that you’re tired earlier, so you go to bed a little sooner.
Tomorrow, you might feel a bit more energised and find it easier to move again.
That one small action set about a chain of events.
Like a ripple.

One small action can influence the next.
Don’t underestimate the impact of doing one small positive action.
Start today, you never quite know what it will set in motion. 🙌

I try and practice gratitude every day, it helps me feel better mentally and just happier with life in general. 🙏

But, gratitude isn’t just a good feeling, it’s actually a proven way to rewire your brain. 🧠

Try this 3-2-1 gratitude practice

3️⃣Things you’re grateful for.
It could be something big, or just something simple like a comfy bed.

2️⃣People you’re grateful for.
Someone in your life, or someone who has made a difference to you.

1️⃣Thing you’re looking forward to.
Something coming up that gives you a reason to feel positive about the future.

🙌🙌

Social media can make us feel like the only predictor of success is the way we look.

It’s not.
We are way more than just bodies.

Making progress can simply be living in alignment with the person you want to be.

Prioritising yourself.
Looking after your health and wellbeing.
Getting up again after a set back.

No one sees the full picture of what someone is dealing with.
Most often the biggest wins, the things we’ve overcome aren’t visible on the outside.

Celebrate your wins.
Be proud of the progress you’re making.
The changes you’re overlooking might be the ones that matter most.

🙌🙌🙌

One of the key foundations of strength training is that we don’t just obliterate ourselves with multiple reps until we are doing some kind of half arsed, exhausted, terrible form of exercise.

When building strength we want to give our muscles a good amount of challenging work, but we also want to be able to recover and repeat with the same quality.

Working in sets allows us to maintain that quality of movement.

We’re not trying to test how many reps you can survive, we’re trying to create enough stimulus for your muscles to adapt & get stronger.

The rests are an important part of your training and not something to just skip through.

If you don’t rest, fatigue builds up and you won’t be able to perform those next reps with anywhere near the same intensity.

Feeling knackered at the end of a workout might make you feel like you’ve worked harder, but it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve trained better.

Not sure where to start with strength training?
I help you cut through the confusion, focus on what matters and build strength with confidence.
Reach out if you interested to see how I can help you get stronger.

Is over-optimising sucking the fun out of life?
I can remember not having any method of tracking a workout, steps or any other activity.
As much as these tools are useful, it can lead to constantly measuring ourselves against the “optimal” version of health.
So just doing 10 minutes of something feels sub-optimal, like you should be doing more.

When every health habit becomes another thing to “get right”
It can start to feel like a lot of work.

No wonder we get overwhelmed.

This week my energy levels haven’t been great, so I’ve done 10 minutes.
I’ve done 10 minutes consistently.
And that’s the key.
10 minutes done consistently Beats 1 hour done inconsistently every time.

Keeping it nice and simple today 💪
Midweek calls for a quick win 🏆

20 mins & done

1. Arnold Press 3x 8-10
2. DB Hip Thrust 3x 8-10
3. Barbell/ DB Skull Crusher 3x 10-12
4. DB Alt. Bicep Curl 3x 10-12
5. Reverse Crunch 3 x 10-12

40-60 secs rest.

I actually only planned to do Arnold Press & Hip Thrusts. 🥴
But then I got into it.
That’s how motivation works.
Start small. Commit to 10 minutes.

You start to do a bit and then … ok I’ll do a bit more. Ok just a couple more..
Then you see, oh actually this isn’t too bad. I can keep going. 💪💪💪

Results come from consistency.
And doing “something” on those low motivation days.

Strength Foundations Tutorial: Single Leg Step Downs 🦵
The one you love to hate! 😝
But by far one of the most underrated glute exercises you can do!

Great for building strength in your glutes & hammies, whilst also improving balance & control.

I like to use some support with these so I can really focus on the glute muscle driving me up & down.
If you want to work more on balance and stability then try without holding on or just use one hand.

Hard enough on their own without weight but you can hold a dumbbell or increase the height of the step for a greater challenge.
💪💪

As we (women) age, maintaining lean tissue- particularly skeletal muscle is crucial in maintaining a strong independent life.
It gives us the capacity to lift, carry, climb, get up and down stairs, run, balance and perform everyday activities.

It is the leading factor in quality of life as we age.

The good news about strength and muscle is that it can be improved at any age.

But many women aren’t strength training.
Sometimes this is due to fear, lack of confidence or just being unsure of what is needed to build and improve strength & muscle.

I believe so strongly in breaking down those barriers. Having coached so many women to lift weights safely and effectively, I have seen first hand the impact & importance this type of training can have for women & their quality of life.

If you’re unsure about what to do, or need some help and guidance, reach out and I’ll help!

I offer free consultations and you can book a taster session to find out more.
All in a calm and peaceful studio 🌿
